Pg 34: Running Gag

This week in Epic Fail: Dirk is becoming bored of shopping but reluctant to leave Amuletts. He makes a slip of the tongue and is mocked for it. When Amuletts makes an innuendo he flees.

Creator’s Commentary: Yes this is Epic Fail’s first running gag.  It’s a gag about running.

I made a typo and this strip happened, with due influence from my own experience of tongue-slips.  Very funny, very embarrassing and oh so true.  “Lave” means to soothe as if by washing, never to be confused with lathe which is a woodworking tool for cutting or sanding.

    Well, he's certainly running.

    Very amusing. My own speech is sometimes riddled with innuendos as well, so I can relate more to ammuletts, in this case.

    "Laver" is French for "Washing"

    Je lave
    Tu laves
    Il lave
    =
    I wash
    You wash
    He washes

    :-)
  • Ah yes, yet another word we've stolen from the French. I was a bit worried using it, because I don't know how common it is in modern language. Kinda makes it less funny if people don't know what it means! Oh well - I see you do :)
  • Luxus
    Hehe, sorry about that.

    I don't know how well this is known to English-speaking people though. I have no merit, I'm French Canadian. :-)
